Diwali visited Dalal Street a week earlier. Markets saw fireworks and the mood which was depressed over the last 50-55 days turned optimistic in the short term. Bears were badly mauled, and you could say it was poetic justice that they were paid back in the same coin. BSESENSEX gained 1,662.34 points or 4.98 per cent to close at 35,011.65 points. NIFTY gained 523 points or 5.21 per cent to close at 10,553 points. The broader markets saw the BSE100, BSE200 and BSE500 gain 5.45 per cent, 5.59 per cent and 5.69 per cent respectively. BSEMIDCAP gained 7.34 per cent and BSESMALLCAP was up 6.38 per cent.
Good showing
The top sectoral gainer was BSECAPGOOD up 10.48 per cent followed by BSECON DUR 8.04 per cent and BSEREALTY 7.75 per cent. There were no sectoral losers this time around but the one that gained the least was BSEFMCG up 2.89 per cent. This gives you an idea of the all-round rally that markets witnessed. In individual stocks, the top gainer was India bulls Housing up 27.17 per cent, followed by Yes Bank 15.98 per cent, State Bank of India 15.05 per cent and Axis Bank 13.51 per cent. The top loser was Coal India down 6.93 per cent, followed by Kotak Bank 2.24 per cent and Bharti Infratel 1.12 per cent.
